Each winter, Presidents’ Day Weekend in Palm Beach signals a cultural moment for collectors, designers, and art lovers alike — and in 2026, The Palm Beach Show returns in full force, taking place February 12–17. Now in its 23rd year, this showcase transforms the Palm Beach County Convention Center into a gathering place where history, craft, and contemporary taste intersect.
Recognized as one of the most luxurious and sophisticated events of the winter art season in the United States, the show presents an extraordinary range of works that captivate both seasoned collectors and curious newcomers. From ancient antiquities to contemporary design, estate jewelry to fine art, The Palm Beach Show remains — by acclaim and experience — much more than a marketplace. It’s a place to discover stories behind objects, connect with experts, and experience remarkable collections in an elegant, museum-quality setting.
That spirit of exchange extends to the show’s design! programming, developed in collaboration with Florida Design Magazine, which brings designers, collectors, and industry voices into conversation around how art and antiques live within today’s interiors.
A Curated Journey Through Art and Design
Whether your interest leans toward rare estate jewelry or decorative objects that spark conversation, the show’s breadth remains one of its defining strengths. In 2026, galleries and exhibitors present fine art spanning historic masters to contemporary voices, alongside estate and period jewelry chosen for both provenance and presence. Furniture and decorative arts move across centuries of design, with contemporary works interwoven throughout, creating a cohesive view of collecting across time.
Taken together, this depth and diversity — experienced in a single setting — invites unhurried exploration and long, rewarding walks through the aisles, where history and innovation remain in steady conversation.
What’s New for 2026
The experience unfolds across the weekend through a series of curated guided tours. These small-group sessions bring you face-to-face with leading exhibitors while unpacking the stories, craftsmanship, and context behind standout pieces.
Building on the momentum of last year’s edition, the design! section returns following strong engagement and dialogue on the show floor. Its continued presence reflects the fair’s evolving approach — balancing tradition with fresh perspectives while expanding the role of design within the broader collecting conversation.
Voices from the Season
Across the design community, The Palm Beach Show is widely regarded as a winter touchstone — valued as much for the conversations it sparks as for the works on view. Designers point to the show’s scale and cultural range as an opportunity to study material across periods, disciplines, and geographies, all within a setting that encourages thoughtful engagement and exchange.
That sensibility is reinforced through the show’s design! programming. Live designer talks and discussions place antiques, fine art, and contemporary design into active dialogue, exploring how historic objects continue to inform modern interiors. For designers sourcing with intention, The Palm Beach Show becomes less about trend-watching and more about perspective — a place where ideas take shape alongside acquisition.
Taken together, these design-led conversations underscore why The Palm Beach Show continues to resonate with interior designers season after season: it offers not just access to exceptional material, but the context needed to use it thoughtfully and well.
A Winter Anchor for Art + Design
What distinguishes The Palm Beach Show is the way it brings historical depth and contemporary perspective into steady conversation. Long respected for its connoisseurship and range, the fair continues to evolve — embracing new voices, expanded programming, and design-led dialogue while maintaining the standards that have defined it for more than two decades.
More than an event, the 2026 edition represents a defining moment in the winter collecting season — where fine art, antiques, jewelry, and design converge in a setting that values scholarship as much as discovery. Within the refined atmosphere of Palm Beach, the show offers a pause for thoughtful examination, considered exchange, and renewed perspective at the opening of the year’s cultural calendar.
The experience begins with the Opening Night Preview on Thursday, February 12, offering collectors, designers, and guests an early opportunity to engage with the fair before it opens to the public — a measured introduction to one of the season’s most anticipated gatherings.
